James 1:2-4 (NIV)

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverence. Perseverence must finish its work so that you may be mature & complete, not lacking anything."



Live out your calling ... don't waste the gifts God gave you.



Nothing is too difficult for Your Heavenly Father!

You can ask God to bless something out of one side of your mouth while flirting with sin out of the other.

You are deluding yourself if you think you can.

Why so frustrated?

Are you not trusting in God?

Is He not your provider & sustainer?

LET IT GO!!

"... love is the strongest thing in the world - stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death ... "*



* from The Mood of Christmas by Henry Van Dyke

When temptation comes, not IF but WHEN, "be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might."*As children of God we have His power at our disposal ... tap into it and defeat the enemy.

*Ephesians 6:10 (NIV)

God created you for His own pleasure ... you are a delight to Him, regardless of what you may think of yourself.

Even the most horrendous event in your life shall pass ... just knowing God is both with you in it and waiting for you at the end of it makes life a little easier to deal with.

NOT believing in God is like convicting someone without any evidence to prove your case.

Live each day to its' fullest and don't fear!

True love is how you treat others despite how you feel they deserve to be treated.

We are defined by the sacrifices we make.

After what God did for me, is there anything I wouldn't do for Him?

Don't miss out on the God moments in your day.

You don't know what's possible until you are in the midst of a storm.
